Why proper wiring is so important in Pimlico, SW1

There are countless businesses and homes throughout Pimlico, SW1, with every single building from Homerton University hospital to the Pimlico, SW1 Picture house requiring proper wiring. Whilst proper wiring may seem as simple as turning the lights on and off, it is in fact an intricate process that should only be handled by a fully qualified and licensed electrician.

If a connecting circuit is unsafe or has been poorly designed, it can cause damage to appliance motors because incorrect amperage is being delivered. If the lights in your home or business are on a slightly overloaded circuit, they could flicker whilst an appliance is in use, alternatively you may be at risk of regular tripping or the fuse could blow, shutting down the circuit panel entirely. We know exactly what to look for and how to install proper electrical wiring so that none of these problems occur.

Faulty wiring warning signs in Pimlico, SW1

In most newer homes and businesses, modern circuit breakers have replaced the fuse box. It’s not that unusual for the circuit breaker to trip and automatically turn off the circuit. When this happens, all you have to do is flick the switch back. If however, you’ve noticed that your circuit breaker trips regularly, then it’s probably a warning sign of faulty wiring. In most cases, it’s down to too many high amp appliances feeding into a single circuit. When this happens, the total amps amount to more than the circuit is rated for. Alternatively, it could be down to a short elsewhere in the wiring. If you’ve noticed regular tripping, be sure to contact us so we can examine the wiring and make any necessary electrical repairs.

Another warning sign to look out for are discoloured or charred outlets and switches. Be sure to look out for outlets or switches that buzz too, as this is usually a sign that you need to have the wiring checked. Whatever you do, don’t try and fix the problem yourself. Buzzing, charred and discoloured switches and outlets are usually the result of a dangerous problem such as faulty wiring either inside or near the outlet. If you’re noticing problems with a switch, there could be a loose connection, which is causing a short.

One sure sign that there’s something wrong with your wiring is if you receive a slight shock from a switch or an outlet. We’ve answered hundreds of calls from Pimlico, SW1 customers who have been on the receiving end of a shock, so if you even have a slight suspicion that your wiring could be faulty, be sure to contact us before it happens to you. Shocks could be the result of a problem with a switch or outlet, but they could also occur if the device you have plugged into the outlet is faulty.

Smelling burning can be disconcerting and potentially dangerous. If you detect any odour coming from an outlet, be sure to turn it off and unplug anything you have connected to it. Don’t use it again until a member of our experienced and qualified team has checked it out and made any necessary electrical repairs. You should also be on the lookout for sparking. If your fuse box or circuit breaker is sparking, it’s essential that you call us urgently.

"Great service. Very reliable electricians. Did fantastic work to connect my main board to outside meter with new tails. The engineer was very polite and with problem solving attitude. Will definitely use them again if will be needed. Highly recommend company."

Paul Grant

"Phoned on a Monday evening as my electrics weren't working. Unusually for the trades company they answered the phone almost immediately?. The customer service rep tried to help me fix the problem myself over the phone, but with no luck. The engineer arrived shortly after that, and had everything on hand to complete the job. I would have no hesitation in recommending him."
